There's not a lot of things that i can remember like this.I remember this most because I got to meet my cousins from Texas.
Here's how it all started... One day in November rachel my sister and I got a call from our Aunt Carol. She called to see if we wanted to come to the Wilderness with her and Aunt Dawn,Courtney,and Allison.So we made sure it was okay and told we would love to. The next day we got packed and did everything we needed to to and went to bed really exited. The next morning we got up at nine and got ready and she was here at ten. Then we hit the road and on the way we didn't talk much but Aunt Dawn did. Once we got to the Dells we stopped at Culvers to eat and i got a salad. Once we got to to the Wilderness we checked in and found our room. Then I walked in and saw a big kitchen and a big couch. There was two big rooms and three big bathrooms and I smelt pine and heard the heater going on. They even had a flat screen t.v. Once we got everything unloaded we got are swimsuits on and walked around trying to find the first water park and finally we found it and that one was not fun so we went to the next one. The next one was really fun but I almost drowned... Because the wave pool was so big the waves went over my head and they had a big dark raft water ride. Then we went to the last to and i went down the biggest ride. Then we went to the room and ate pizza and cookies. Then we talked and showered and went to bed at midnight. In the morning we ate toast and packed up our bags. Then we went to a four story indoor playground. Then we went to the water park again. After we went to two water parks we went to to take a shower. After we got dressed we headed back home. On the way back we stopped to get ice cream. Then we got home and said good bye.
So at the end we got to know are cousin pretty good. We had a great time and that was a my special moment.
